Teaching Philosophy

I believe that the education experience should be one that is never demeaning, but one that is reaffirming and validating. I believe that the student does not arrive in class “tabula rasa”, but is an amalgamation of the individuals experience that if fostered will heighten the educational experience for the student, their classmates and the professor.
